I'm a bit uneasy about so many people being pro-science and still falling into all the fallacies scientific method tried to address. Disclaimer: I'm pro vaccine, I do think Covid vaccines saved a lot of lives. I still think the ri

Yes, opposite meaning they purchased to make some money. I'm happy I didn't follow their lead and it made me way more mobile during the pandemic and investments that would be paid as a fat down-payment grew significantly (even if

Nobody mentioned headlights standard in US. It literally lets manufactures go as bright as they want, any direction they want, mounted at any height. EU headlights are not perfect and still can blind, but nothing as bad as bypassing Dodge R

I know a lot of people in the Bay Area who did exactly the opposite in 2017-19, looking at how prices doubled, they assured me in 5 years their investment would double as well.

Even if my favorite service is so irreplaceable, I still can use it without touching AI part of it. If majority who use a popular service never touch AI features, it will inevitably send a message to the owner one way or another - you are w

This question bothers me very much. I wanted to open source result of my thesis, which is quite interesting for theoretical CS, but my supervisor strongly recommends to avoid publishing the source code because it is a complex system solving

FOSS model has been abused by large corporations for a while now (with not so successful counter measures as Server Side Public License). This PR is just a tip of the iceberg of what's coming - a crowd of highly motivated people plagia

I watched my kids becoming a median of their classmates. After changing to a private school it was noticeable after a month - different lexicon, mimics, attitude. It's not thick skin they are developing around assholes, it's them

It's nice to see that my family is not alone in taking these precautions. However as with the bright headlamps, there's no real solution coming anytime soon. I mean there are solutions - nasal vaccines and proper NHTSA regulation,

It's ignorance from consumer side and lost engineering culture from manufacturer. In addition, people became aggressive and lack empathy - I was followed by a Jeep Wrangler the other day, still dark in the morning, his headlights lit m

Why did I read that FT article start to finish? Seems like a waste of time, but at the same time the feelings were similar to looking Hannibal Lecter in the kitchen scene.

It was brutal in Switzerland during hot humid summers. Even commercial buildings had "water heat pumps" that left some parts of buildings at ~35C. They did put real A/C to newer trams and trains though.

GPUs might become obsolete after the AI bubble bursts, but tons of supporting infrastructure, including non-GPU servers, will be in the market for pennies.

Legacy code may be very different - I saw legacy libraries implemented in C, with macros APIs that just worked. Same applies to "live" code with owners still within a team - it can be extremely bad. The issue with LLMs is you don&

Bought Speed Queen TC5 9 years ago - ugly, no app or buttons, but runs as a tank, cleans much better and faster, no detergent residue. When I asked movers to replace existing LG with my speed queen, they asked why - LG looks so much better.

This is impressive and I'd love to try it for our logs. Our company has specific requirement about resources and ranking but I couldn't find it in documentation, could you please point me to the right docs? 1. How does it scale wi
